Battle #52 Results

[scottishfae]

Oh yes, we're back. Simplified and back to the original brackets, we're going to make some slight changes to how things are run in hopes that we'll not have to deal with lots of downtime again. To begin again, we're starting off with two past winners again:

The Winner
Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV (Cowboy Bebop)
20 (52.6%)
The LoserSan (

Methinks Ed would win. San may be more...ferocious, true, but Ed is just WAY more unpredictable. She'd do or say something totally incredible/funny/disastrous - even withou really meaning to - and San would keel over. Probably.
Or do her best to try and strangle poor Ed out of (misguided?) frustration at attempting to understand her. ~^__^~

[scottishfae]

I think Ed's almost Luffy like qualities gives her an advantage in any situation.

[hisoka44]

...........now that's one unique way of putting it! *LOL* But you're oh-so-right!!! <3

[scottishfae]

I was, for a short while, trying to imagine what a battle between those two would be like, but I'm not sure they would ever fight. Ed isn't the sort of person to threaten his nakama, and Luffy isn't the type of person to take anything serious unless that happens. So basically, the two would probably roll around like giant rubber balls, laughing, and having a good ol' merry time of it all.

Yay, it's back! :D

Hm... while Ed might win in an unarmed fight with her flexibility and imagination and lack of restraint, San IS armed with a knife, and so I think she has that advantage.
Good close fight, though.

[scottishfae]

Thanks for the excitement! We're definitely glad to be back and hopefully we won't have lapses like this again.

w00t w00t! I was wondering what had happened to you guys.

I think I'm gonna have to go with San on this one. Ed's got that spry "my body doesn't obey the laws of physiognomy" thing going for her, but when she fights she's mostly relying on surprise and agility to win. San is a bona fide warrior with tactical and strategic experience, and, like, 30 experience points apiece in agility, speed, and general toughness. Plus she's got a weapon.

So if they were to fight, San would win.

If they were to fight. But I'm pretty sure Ed wouldn't see any reason to get her shorts in a bunch and would frolick away, leaving San to be the default winner anyway.

[scottishfae]

The world happened to us. One of us moved and one of us almost flunked out of school (and I'm still working on that 'flunk out' bit...unfortunately).

Physiognomy, you say...5pts for vocab word, good job!

[treeflamingo]

Ah, real life. *shakes head* If I didn't need you to support my internet addiction, I'd give up on you altogether. I was actually kinda happy when I logged back onto LJ after a three month bout with real life (moved, quit my job, etc) and found that I hadn't missed anything exciting here.

Anyway, 勉強するの　がんばって！　...is that even grammatically correct?

[scottishfae]

I do believe you mentioned the not-so-four-letter-but-it-damn-well-should-be (look at all those pretty hyphens) word of "grammar" and thus, my brain has shut down.

And can I just say, I've missed your Farscape icon.

I'm reminded of the phrase "Pull out and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." Of the two of them only Ed has the ship to do something like that.* Therefor Radical Ed wins.

*Not that she would but the threat alone should be enough to make San throw in the towel.

[treeflamingo]

Now, here's a nitpicky question: does Ed actually *have* the Bebop? As in, is the Bebop enough in her possession that she should get to use it in this fight? Because I would argue that the only real tools at Ed's disposal would be Ein, and her computer. And if Ed has Ein, then San has her two wolf brothers. Little contest there. But... I suppose... if Ed has her computer, and we're assuming it's connected to the same magical internets that it's connected to in the Bebopiverse, then it's possible she could hijack something large and packing impressive firepower to annihilate San from a safe distance... hrm...

[salad_barbarian]

Well Ed has used her computer to hijack the Bebop before. I don't think San would have her wolf family since if your allowing adoptive families then the entire crew of the Bebop would be involved as Ed's family (dysfunctional as it is.)

I think the spirit of this forum is help is kept to just objects (computer and any machine it can control vs. knife) rather than other beings.

[scottishfae]

I had to look it up, but I don't think the wolves were allowed in the original battle, just what she had on hand. So San has her knife and Ed has her computer. Though, seeing as they're "transported to an isolated planet," I'm also not sure there would be a ship for her to hack into.

[janus_2]

>>cough, cough>> Ed woulf hijack the transport technology that brought her and San to the planet and teleport any and everything she could need. Bepop, weapons, other computers (aka Spy Satellite hiding as a weather satellite). San is; therefore, beaten.
